Starting The Engine - Toro TurfMaster 22205TE Operator's Manual

•
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view.
•
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip-and-fall
accident.
•
Stop the machine and inspect the blades after striking an
object or if there is an abnormal vibration in the machine.
Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation.
•
Before leaving the operating position, shut off the engine,
and wait for all moving parts to stop.
•
If the engine has been running the muffler will be hot and
can severely burn you. Keep away from the hot muffler.
•
Check the grass catcher components and the discharge
guard frequently and replace them with the manufacturer's
recommended parts when necessary.
•
Use accessories and attachments approved by the The
Toro® Company only.
Slope Safety
•
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Use
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
•
Do not mow on excessively steep slopes. Poor footing
could cause a slip-and-fall accident.
•
Mow with caution near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments.
